Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Ye Du took a deep breath and stood up:

"This An Xiaohai never took those underworld figures' so-called insurance vaults seriously from beginning to end. Dealing with them was just a side effect!"

An Xiaohai's goal was very clear. From the very beginning, he went straight for that Pig Dragon, that is, the vault of that so-called spy organization.

His previous actions were all aimed at maneuvering and pressuring the enemy, creating an extremely tense atmosphere, and inducing the enemy to make mistakes.

Throughout the entire operation, he communicated very little with the security personnel. I don't think it was because they had other ways of communicating, but simply because the cost they paid was so small that it was almost negligible!

An Xiaohai must have bypassed the enemy's frontal defenses and achieved the greatest results with the least cost.

I doubt that the security department was likely to be deeply involved. An Xiaohai accomplished all of this largely through his own efforts!

Stirring up the enemy in the grass, deceiving the heavens to cross the sea, using a borrowed knife to kill, feinting to the east while attacking in the west, luring the tiger away from the mountain, removing the firewood from under the cauldron, stealing the beams and replacing the pillars, the honey trap... Forget it, I'm too lazy to count them all!

In one operation, An Xiaohai used almost all 36 stratagems, one after another, keeping the enemy dizzy and disoriented!

I'm even certain that what he handed over to the security department wasn't all he got from the operation! He must have also amassed enormous profits throughout the process.

That must be it!

This time, we really did the security department a disservice...

What a talent! This An Xiaohai is absolutely a talent! And a talent that's perfect for us!

"Unfortunately, he only has the Security Department on his mind. He's been wary of me from the very beginning..." Xu Congzhou said with a long sigh.

"Not necessarily," Ye Du waved his hand. "An Xiaohai's style is really not suitable for the Security Department! Don't you know that wooden guy? But his subordinate 073 is quite talented..."

"DouDou, you're not trying to poach 073 too, are you?"

"If we can dig it up, what can't we dig up? If 073 dares to come over, I'll take it!"

"..."

"Alright, let's stop talking about this useless stuff."

Fortunately, this time we also got the list from that foreigner, and with such a large sum of money, we can barely compete with Wood. You did a good job!"

"Is this list really that important?" Xu Congzhou was also taken aback. He knew the list was important, but he didn't expect it to be this important—worth billions!

"Yes, it's very important! Much more important than you can imagine. The key is that the mastermind behind it is the notorious thief Bai Maoyan. The foreigners haven't dared to utter a single word about this, which is extremely beneficial to us."

Therefore, the commendation level given to us by our superiors was the same as that given to Mu Tou and the others. We could say we didn't lose face, even though we lost the competition…

Hehe, An Xiaohai!

I'm liking him more and more; he strikes a great balance! He benefits from both sides, offends neither, and even owes favors to both!

He didn't ask for anything at all, making it seem like we both owed him a huge favor!

Wow, that's amazing!

Look at the actions he organized; from planning to execution, it was flawless! He coordinated so many forces, directed so many departments in a joint operation, and then left without a trace, concealing his achievements and fame!

Bug, tell me, how many of our people can do what he does?

And there's something even more interesting: those drug lords from Haixi Province who cooperated with him all acted like obedient children in his presence, and afterwards they didn't suspect his identity at all. Isn't that amazing?!

"Now that you mention it, it does sound a bit amazing..."

"It's more than just a little bit, it's absolutely amazing! I bet those parties who were tricked still don't know who tricked them."

They were beaten to the point of near death, and they didn't even know who the enemy was or where they were!

This is incredible!

"Yes, it is a little scary to think about..."

DouDou, you know what, when I was negotiating with this kid in the dock, I was really a little nervous. I was afraid he had a backup plan and might take all the money!

I was so scared that I didn't dare to bargain with him. All I wanted was to finish this quickly, get the money and leave, and not cause any more trouble!

Looking back now, I was really a bit useless...

"A child? You just said he was a child?" Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Did I say he was a child?... " Xu Congzhou scratched his head: "Oh, I think I did..."

But that's just the kind of impression he gives off! Standing there so politely and somewhat thin, he looks just like a timid college student...

"Don't be ridiculous, it's so deceptive!"

"Now that you mention it, I'm becoming more and more interested in this An Xiaohai!"

Isn't this a natural-born intelligence agent? And he can cause such a huge stir! If you don't try to recruit someone like this, what are you waiting for?

"I've already dug it up. I've mentioned it to him several times, but what can I do if he doesn't want to come? Am I supposed to kidnap him?"

"I think either your method is wrong, or you're not sincere enough; there must be a reason!"

Ye Du frowned and paced back and forth: "Let's change our approach! Bug, think about it, why would An Xiaohai trust Mu Tou and his people more?"

It's very simple, the people in Wood's group are upright!

Those people are a bunch of idealists, acting like they're above worldly concerns!

Look at you! You're just a gangster, no matter how you look at you, you have no class!

Xu Congzhou rolled his eyes. This is just a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked too…

"DouDou, I don't think what you said is right. How can we not be idealists?"

Our temperament is just a product of our work, isn't it? We're not like those people in the security department!

They don't need to deal with people. After receiving intelligence, they just need to keep a close eye on the target. To put it bluntly, they are a group of special agents, our sharpest blade.

As for us, we need to integrate into society and deal with all sorts of people. If you are upright and righteous, who would dare to associate with you?

If we did that, those criminals would have already run away by the smell, and how would we be able to carry out our work?

Ultimately, it's because our work is different from theirs. We're in intelligence work; we have to pay attention to everything. We need to be the strongest shield, making everything invisible. They're the sharpest blade; they only need to focus on one point...

"Alright, alright, I don't know any of this. I'm trying to discuss something with you, and you're starting to complain again."

"Sorry, I'm used to it... Isn't this what you taught me? The squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

……

"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Ye Du waved his hand again: "To be honest, such a talent is really too rare."

An Xiaohai has a good educational background and a strong knowledge base; he has been to prison and knows how to deal with criminals; he also controls a huge force.

If I'm not mistaken, he basically calls the shots in the underworld of Baoshan District in Shenzhen, and he definitely has influence in the other districts as well…

He is capable of formulating complex and meticulous plans, possesses strong execution and control abilities, and has gathered a group of talented individuals who are utterly loyal to him!

These are all secondary. What is most commendable is that he always maintains absolute clarity of mind and knows how to make choices and maintain a balance when faced with huge benefits. This is especially valuable!

We can't let such a talented person wander around like this... It's a double-edged sword!

"Yes, I sometimes think that if An Xiaohai completely loses his mind and goes down the path of crime, he will be an extremely terrifying enemy."

To be honest, I'm not entirely confident of victory against him.

"Yes, such a person, if he can be used by the country and by us, is a rare talent. Once he goes astray, he will be a huge threat to the whole society!"

We must nip the harmful aspects in the bud.

This is a very difficult task, and I'm entrusting it to you!

Look at him, with a series of moves in Deepsea City, he uprooted the underworld and spy organizations. I estimate that all the accumulation of these two sides over the years has been wiped out by him in one fell swoop.

Our Haizhou City is no less impressive than Shenhai City!

"Bug, what do you think it would be like if we brought him to Haizhou and did this again?"

"..."

Xu Congzhou was sweating profusely. After all that, it turned out that Ye Doudou was waiting here!
